Is gossip rampant in your department, organisation or company?
Have you tried multiple different strategies, but nothing seems to work?
I’ve been there before! Hi, I’m Rika Whelan, Workplace Gossip Strategist.
I started as the gossiper, following the ’unwritten rules’ of the organisation I was working at where gossip was the norm. I was never spoken to by a leader for gossiping, & I’ve often wondered why it was tolerated.
After changing employers, I decided to not be part of the office gossip problem anymore... I wasn’t going to gossip!
As gossip was rampant in this working environment, I soon became a victim of gossip for my lack of sharing the gossiping sentiment.
I stuck to my guns and refused to participate. I became somewhat of an outsider, but I stuck it out.
Although I was building internal resilience & getting to know how strong I (really) was, I became resentful towards the leaders for the lack of accountability towards staff, lack of care for the working environment that we were in & the fact that they were part of the problem.
Fast forward a couple of years & I found myself in a leadership role where I led a relatively new department. Within 3 months, gossip had taken over & there was a huge problem!
I pulled up my sleeves & declared battle! Gossip would not have a place in my team!
I set out to find the solution to eradicating workplace gossip. But no one had the exact answer. A lot of great leaders offered their advice & slowly but surely, I had to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
I implemented what is now known as the RESPECT framework, which is the steps I took, very clunky and making A LOT of mistakes along the way, to eradicate workplace gossip & create a thriving workplace culture.
It took me 12 months to implement these steps, but I did it!
Along with my leadership team, we eradicated gossip & experienced first-hand what it felt like to work in a gossip-free zone! It felt good! It felt amazing & it was worth all the effort, trials and tribulations.
By eradicating gossip, my team:
-＞ Increased productivity
-＞ Managed their time better
-＞ Stopped wasting valuable time
-＞ Started working autonomously
-＞ Started trusting each other
-＞ Experienced less conflict
-＞ Gained a growth mindset and left the fixed mindset behind
-＞ Offered a better customer experience
As a result of eradicating office gossip, the leadership team:
-＞ Gained back valuable time, usually wasted on mediating unnecessary conflict
-＞ Could focus on strategy instead of on bad and negative employee behaviour
-＞ Could focus on activities that affect the bottom line
-＞ Could focus on offering a better and more positive working environment for all employees.
Now I’m on a mission, to share these strategies with leaders who are also ready to eradicate workplace gossip and get their department or organisation back on track.
Together, we’ll break the cycle of gossip with transformative leadership strategies!

In this fifth episode, I chat with you about the environment and the workplace culture that you and your team WANT to create. Get out the poster boards and colour markers and start brainstorming what that will look like. Think about it from 2 angles:
Tangible ways (for example morning teas on a Friday, once a month cultural food day, staff praise box/board etc.)
Intangible ways (for example respecting each other, being friendly, greeting everyone every day, having a feedback culture, annual goals, no-micromanagement, having autonomy etc.)

Prolifically, this is the most difficult step for leaders because sometimes it ends up in termination of staff. But sometimes you have to get rid of the people who refuse to change and are stuck in their ways. However, this is only 1% of people, because the other 99% of people are more likely to change.
